Overseerr is a free, open-source, self-hosted web application for managing media requests and discovery in the Plex ecosystem, integrating with Sonarr and Radarr. It is now in maintenance mode and has been superseded by Seerr, a unified project merging Overseerr and Jellyseerr.
Use cases
- let friends and family request movies and TV shows for my Plex server
- approve or deny media requests from a mobile-friendly UI
- sync my Plex library so users only request titles I don't already have
- automatically send approved requests to Sonarr and Radarr
- send notifications when requests are approved or available
- manage user access and permissions via Plex authentication
When to choose
- you run a Plex server with Sonarr/Radarr and want a polished request portal for users
- you need an existing, battle-tested deployment and don't need new features
- you want granular permissions and notification agents for a media community
When to avoid
- you are starting a new deployment - use Seerr instead, which supports Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby
- you use Jellyfin or Emby rather than Plex
- you need ongoing feature development, bug fixes, or PostgreSQL support
